For a change it was sunny and hot outside today we finally hit a 77*F day, so I decide to do the front brakes on my Dakota in the driveway, opened up the garage to let so fresh air in (my Dusters igloo)...got myself a few cold wobbly pops :drinkers: and got to work, no sooner did I get the trucks wheels off and on stands...The wind starts to pick up and the sky is getting dark.
So I throw the wheels back on, take the stands out and put all my tools away and close everything up.
As soon as I got inside the wind picked-up and hail was coming down, as I was on the computer checking my emails...(kinda peaved about not being able to do what I set out for), I hear a load "BANG", so I get up to go see what it was.
First thing I noticed (looking in the backyard) was the close line (no clothes on it) got ripped off the house, it was anchored with four 3/8" x 4"L bolts.
So i think "that's odd", then I put my shoes on and go outside to check it out.
I couldn't believe what I saw, my temporary garage (tarp) 14' x 25', which was the also anchored at eight spots with 30" spikes got blown away, over top of my 12' x 10' garden shed and my Duster's igloo (garage).
The shelter took out the clothes line and kept going...took out most of my weaping willow tree (which is huge) at 21' circumference at the trunk base.
But it could've been worst, my neighbour was having a birthday party for his daughter. And he told me he was calling the kids in when it hit, and the shelter/willow tree missed two kids by inches.
Thank got no one got hurt!
